Piecing together memories embedded in sparkly shimmers,
They light the way of hope in a sky of despair...
Dazzling with remnants of reminiscence in gloomy glimmers,
They burn in a blaze, their embers weeping for a life so unfair...

I chase the stars in a futile journey,
Grasping the glint of faith, I meander.
I seek an end to a tale of tragedy,
Till I find it, I'm just a wanderer...

I'm not worth enough to be a source of luminosity,
Not worth enough to guide me,
So I try to clasp onto a coiling past twirling like a galaxy.

The meaning of "joy" is lost, and so am I,
Engulfed in the pitch black of emptiness...
I wish to grab onto the gleaming glow in the sky,
So the faded flickers enfold in smiles so seamless...

The daze of the dark wishes to capture my heart,
To ravage it's beatings, rip it apart.

Spiralling in swirling circles, I spin around,
The glistens of glee seem distant...
Am I reaching out for something that'll never be found?
The warm flare of comfort I yearn for, is it nonexistent?

I can't give up in the midst of the chaos so shadowy,
A slight twinkle of light I must be,
I may disappear in a wink, but I'll vanish gracefully...

My soul radiates alone, but I'm not lonely,
I know my blips of bliss won't last forever.
I've found a temporary end to a tragedy,
Yet I'll go on, I'm just a wanderer...
